Zibby interviews author Lynda Cohen Loigman about her charming, quirky, and utterly satisfying second-chance love story, THE LOVE ELIXIR OF AUGUSTA STERN. Lynda talks about her protagonist, 79-year-old Augusta Stern, who relocates to a Florida retirement community and runs into the man who broke her heart 60 years prior. She also describes her novel’s flashbacks to the 1920s, where we learn about Augusta’s family pharmacy and her great-aunt Esther’s unconventional remedies. This leads to a conversation about aging, women in medicine, and the trend of women’s medical issues being dismissed. Lynda also talks about her writing process and her exciting book tour!Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/487KlGKShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
